Chapter 561 Mutual Benefit
"Isn't your purpose to take revenge? Why do you say you want to save more people?" Luke heard the implication. When a person's motive for committing a crime changes, the way he commits the crime will also change.
Thomas Colley's eyes flashed with sharpness, "I hate not only Kalman Pharmaceuticals, but also the unethical system of drug testers. I want to use Rohel Horn's death to trigger more People are paying attention to the profession of drug testers.
Only in this way can it be possible to ban this industry, which is my ultimate goal. "
"Did you also ask Rohel Horn to mail the letter of report against Kalman Pharmaceuticals' illegal human experiments to the TV station?"
“Yes, only in this way will the death of Rohel Horn be noticed by more people, and more people will resist Kalman Pharmaceuticals and the drug tester system.
It seems to be working pretty well now.
The citizens of Los Angeles still have a strong sense of justice, and I believe they will soon take to the streets. ” A smile appeared on Thomas Colley’s face.
Luke asked another question, "Why kidnapped Lydia Cooney's daughter?"
"If possible, I would like to say sorry to that girl in person. I never meant to hurt her, I just had to do it as a last resort." Thomas Colley spread his hands and explained,
"Although the death of Rohel Horn will destroy the reputation of Kalman Pharmaceuticals, I feel that this is not enough. I also want to destroy their experimental results, so I thought of setting fire to Kalman Pharmaceuticals. experimental building.
We need an insider to lead the way, so we kidnapped Lydia Cooney's daughter. In fact, even if you don't rescue the little girl, I will send her away in two days. "
Xiao Hei said sarcastically, "You are such a kind guy. Now I am a little doubtful whether it was a mistake to let you sit in that chair."
"I know you may not believe it, but what I say is true."
Luke crossed out another question, "Why did you kill Walder Baker?"
Thomas Colley touched his chin, "That guy deserves to die, he is not a good person to begin with, he is only profit-seeking and extremely greedy.
But then again, if he wasn't greedy, he wouldn't be doing this with me.
However, I simply don’t have that much money to give him, or in other words, I’m not as rich as he thinks. In that case, I can only kill him.
Otherwise, he will definitely cause trouble, and then the whole plan will fail, and Rohel Horn's death will be of no value. "
"Is anyone else involved in your plan?"
"No, if there are too many people, it will be easy for the news to leak."
Luke concluded, "So, the murder of Rohel Horn, the kidnapping of Lydia Cooney's daughter, the arson at Kalman Pharmaceuticals, and the murder of Walda Baker were all caused by you. Planned and implemented behind the scenes.”
"Yes." Thomas Corley nodded vigorously, "I believe it is worth it. Kalman Pharmaceuticals has been punished as it should be, and more people have begun to pay attention to the unhuman work of drug testers.
Although I was caught, my goal was achieved.
Believe me, the world would be a better place without the job of drug testers. "
Xiao Hei said, "Listen, I don't like the job of a drug tester either, and I also know that it will cause harm to some people.
But you also need to know that the purpose of developing new drugs is to save lives. Once the drugs are on the market, they can save more patients.
in a sense……"
Thomas Colley's voice suddenly rose and interrupted Xiao Hei, "Birth, old age, illness and death are part of life. People can be treated when they are sick, but don't over-treat.
The human body has a certain ability to heal itself, and excessive use of drugs will only make the body weaker.
If you really have an incurable disease, then die calmly.
Is it meaningful to lie in bed and rely on drugs to maintain life?
Moreover, all human lives are equal, and no one has the obligation to try medicine to treat other people's illnesses.
This is immoral and will be punished by God. "
Thomas Colley stared at Luke and Xiao Hei, as if he wanted to get their approval, or was expecting their rebuttal.
Luke shrugged, "I'm not interested in this advanced topic, you'd better leave it to the jury and the judge in court.
If you can convince them, maybe you won't have to go to jail. "
Thomas Colley said firmly, "I will!"
Later, Luke packed his things and left the interrogation room with Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei caught up with Luke and pointed to his head, "Captain, do you think there is something wrong with this guy's brain?"
"No, he is awake."
"Then what do you think of what he just said?"
Luke sneered, "It's a lot of lies."
Xiao Hei frowned, "What do you mean?"
"Forget what he just said. The rhetoric he just said is just to divert your attention."
"Didn't he kill Walder Baker?"
"He should have killed Walder Baker, but there was some truth or lies in what he said, and he must have concealed some important clues..."
There were three reasons why Luke did not expose the other party during the interrogation. First, the other party had already confessed.
Second, in order to paralyze the other party and make the other party mistakenly think that the police believed his words, to see if the truth would be exposed.
Third, Luke only saw that the other party was lying, and there was no evidence to prove that the other party had lied. Even if he pointed it out, the other party would not admit it. By then, Luke would be passive.
What Luke has to do now is to collect more clues and evidence to find the truth hidden by Thomas Colley.
…
Rohel Horn's house.
"Dong dong..."
After a while, the door opened.
The door was opened by Christian Horn, Rohel Horn's wife.
She had gone to the Robbery and Murder Division to meet with Luke.
Christian Horn looked at Luke and Xiao Hei with some surprise, "Captain Li, why are you here?
Is there any outcome on my husband's case? "
Luke looked at the other party. The woman's face was a little haggard and her mental state was not very good. "Yes, the case of your husband's murder has indeed made progress. We came here today to check his belongings and maybe find some new clues."
"Come in." Christian Horn stepped aside and asked Luke and Xiao Hei to sit on the sofa in the living room. "What relics of my husband do you want to see?"
Luke glanced around the living room, "Can I just walk around the house?"
“I’m sorry, besides my husband’s stuff in this house, there’s also stuff from me and my kids, especially since I have a girl.
I'm really sorry, it's really inconvenient. "Christian Horne looked embarrassed and suggested, "Captain Li, why don't you have a cup of coffee first, and I'll take out my husband's belongings. "
“That’s okay too.
No need for coffee, we drank it on the way here. ” Luke declined politely.
"Excuse me." Christian Horn nodded and then entered the bedroom on the first floor.
Xiao Hei whispered, "Why do I feel that she is a little cold?"
Luke did not answer, because the purpose of their visit this time was to investigate the two hundred thousand dollars in employment payments paid by Thomas Colley to Rohel Horn.
Christian Horn's attitude showed that the other party had found the money and guessed the purpose of Luke and others.
After a while, Christian Horn came over carrying a cardboard box and put it on the coffee table, "These are all left by my husband, I..."
I put it away in advance, but I haven’t figured out what to do with it yet.
If you need it, take it. "
Luke looked through the items in the box. There were photo albums, books, and some documents. There were not many things. "Is that all there is?"
"There are also some clothes and tools, which are all placed in the garage." After Christian Horn finished speaking, he changed the subject, "Captain Li, have you found the murderer of my husband?"
Luke nodded, "That's right, the case is a bit complicated."
"What's the meaning?"
"Your husband probably committed suicide rather than homicide."
Christian Horn shook his head, "This is impossible, my husband will not commit suicide, we have a very good relationship, and we have two lovely children.
I know him, there is no way he would leave us alone. "
Luke said, “After your husband lost his job, he lost his source of income and had to rely on gambling to support the family expenses. He made some money at first, but later lost more money.
As a last resort, he borrowed a loan shark, and in order to repay the loan shark, he became a drug tester.
But he still couldn't repay the loan shark. In the past six months, he had lived a very hard life and was under a lot of pressure.
At this time, a man came to him and told him a way to make money. As long as his death was related to the trial drug, he could get compensation from the pharmaceutical company.
Moreover, the man also promised to give him two hundred thousand dollars.
Mrs. Christian Horne, have you ever seen that two hundred thousand dollars? "
Christian Horn's eyes flickered, her temples began to sweat, and she shook her head, "No, I haven't seen it... If our family had such a large amount of money, I wouldn't worry about my future life."
Luke stared at the other party, obviously feeling the other party's panic, and advised, "Madam, I suggest you look for it carefully, maybe it is left in a corner."
Christian Horn stood up and took two steps back, "You must be mistaken, our family doesn't have that much money."
Luke also stood up, "Do you mind if we search it?"
"I refuse." Christian Horn walked to the door and opened it. "Please leave my house, immediately."
Luke showed the search warrant, "I suggest you go and search carefully, otherwise, we will have to do it ourselves.
I'm sure you don't want to be caught in the police station on charges of harboring stolen property. "
Christian Horn covered her mouth, "Why are you doing this to me? My husband is dead, and my children and I are helpless...
Do you want to see us living on the streets?
Why not give us a way to survive? "
Luke put away the search warrant, "Mrs. Christian Horn, I understand your situation, but leaving money of unknown origin may not be a good thing.
Can you worry about the flowers? "
"I don't have any financial resources now. My husband paid for this money with his life. Please..."
"I know that your life is difficult. I have ways to help you, but not with the two hundred thousand dollars."
"Can I trust you?"
“My patience is limited.
You know, I have the right to search on my own. "
"I'll get it."
Christian Horn took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then entered the basement. When he came up again, he had a travel bag in his hand, which looked very heavy.
Christian Horn reluctantly put the travel bag on the coffee table, opened the zipper, and said, "It's all here."
Xiao Hei leaned over to check, and found that it was twenty bundles of brand new green banknotes.
Luke picked up a notebook beside him and opened it. On it was a diary written by Rochelle Horn, which also recorded his psychological process of suicide, which was roughly the same as what Thomas Colley described.
Luke closed the diary, "When did you find the diary and the money?"
"Yesterday, I was sorting out my husband's belongings and found the money and diary. I also thought about handing them over to the police, but... my children and I really need the money."
Luke nodded, "I know your life is not easy, and I don't want to take the money, but the suspect who gave your husband the money has been arrested.
His testimony is recorded, and the money must be filed."
"Oh my God, how are we going to live in the future?" Christian Horn sobbed softly.
"I have a way to help you get some money. Although it may not be much, it should be enough for you to live for a while."
Christian Horn looked at Luke with an expectant look, "What is the way?"
"Kalman Pharmaceuticals."
Christian Horn thought for a while, "Are you asking us to sue Kalman Pharmaceuticals?"
Luke shook his head, "It is very clear now that your husband knew that he was not allowed to drink and take drugs during the drug trial stage, but he did it deliberately in order to defraud compensation from Kalman Pharmaceuticals.
Now the police have found out that this method will not work."
"Then what should I do?"
"I can help you reconcile with Kalman Pharmaceuticals. You can talk about the difficulties of your family. Maybe they are willing to compensate you from a humanitarian perspective." Luke is not a good person. Kalman Pharmaceuticals is not in a good situation now. Negative news has caused great trouble to their company.
If the widow of the deceased stood up and denied the rumor that Kalman Pharmaceuticals was doing illegal human experiments at this time, it would be good for Kalman Pharmaceuticals and could reverse the image of Kalman Pharmaceuticals to a certain extent.
Moreover, a small amount of money is nothing to Kalman Pharmaceuticals, but it is related to the livelihood of Christian Horn's family.
Both parties get what they need, which is good for everyone.
Luke believes that the senior management of Kalman will definitely agree.
Christian Horn can also get a sum of money to ensure the lives of himself and his children, killing two birds with one stone.
Of course, Luke is just a matchmaker, and the specific content still needs to be discussed by themselves.
